Cardon Shaft Arrangementhis arrangement, 25KW alternator was of conventional type except belt transmission replaced with a cardon shaft which was driven by a gear box mounted on the axle. The alternator was mounted on the coach underframe to take care of space constraints in the bogie. This design was given by LHB to RCF as per the contractual condition. Based on this design, one rake was turned out to work in Shalimar rake (4545/4646).ange The rake turned out by RCF worked between NDLS & JAT for few days but design lapses surfaced out within a short period. The design lapse was non-damping of vibrations emerging from the track irregularities resulting failure on account of breakage of gear box & Cardon shaft, failures of fasteners provided for coupling of Cardon & gear box, shearing of flange for coupling, jamming of Cardon shaft arrangement, development of gap between torque limiter plates, breakage of gear box torque arm pin cap locking stud in Cardon shaft system and damage of fork arm bolt provided in Cardon shaft arrangement.  - Study24x7
